The Shadows and The Light
by Quin Kirchner
supported by 16 fans who also own “Flying Basket”
Really this album is a masterclass in Hard-Bop, Post-Bop, Spiritual jazz, and soul jazz all wrapped up in a impressively cohesive package. It pays tribute to those that came before while still keeping an eye to the future/past.

Professor Graves always amazes, this lost session from a week prior to the recording of his classic "Babi" is a welcome addition to his discography.
